"A memory?" Hendrik asked, looking from the man to the pendant. "What is the meaning of giving us such a gift?"

He then gestured with the precious pendant in his hand at the tree as he gazed up at it. "I do not know or understand what all of this means. Why decorate a tree?"

The knight was trying really hard to focus on something, anything other than why he now held his old friend's pendant in his hand when he left it on the man's sword when the other knight passed away.
